100% agree with your take on utilizing brown. I feel like if he had more touches his impact would be a lot more than people are thinking.

[@itsnuthinbutsunshine]

Nah I think every bengals fan feels the same

[@iankrug1638]

I’ll be watching for Mims as that extra lineman 😮🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✔️

[@iankrug1638]

I would say that 12-13 personnel formula is going to dominate the plans and open up the offense like we’ve never seen💯✨✔️🔥🔥🔥

[@adamsmith5904]

Get that 45 on the field he will help the run

[@peterneefus381]

Agree with pressuring the rookie QB Daniels; the Bengals have had a surprisingly rough time with rookie QBs.

[@robterrell7301]

Chase needs at least 15 touches

[@johnkammer4754]

Who-Dey,every day,Bengals Nation 🎉🎉🎉

[@terrellc8658]

Yeah it's a must win i think there going to improve to 1-2

[@johnmcdonald1306]

Chase Brown is a powerful running back

[@bgill4049]

We’re finally getting healthy! Can’t wait till we have Jackson and Murphy back

[@KuRizMaivL]

Excited for Rookie Kris Jenkins debut WHO DEY 🐅

[@pierre4819]

I see this as similar to Lamar Jackson's first start v MarvinsBengals........ They better use a spy on Daniels, which is the same thing I said before that game in 2018 v Lamar

[@getbrainseeds]

i just hope they don't have mims out there too much, but i'm sure bengals got a good plan for him

[@jungledynasty3554]

All they have to do is triple team Hendrickson and Daniel's will have enough time to eat a hot pocket before he decides to throw the ball.

[@getbrainseeds]

and teams will start catching on to the RB thing...when moss is out there 80% chance of pass play when chase out there it's 80% chance run

[@badlandschugsnumber1fan123]

Mims playing?

[@BengalsTalk]

@@badlandschugsnumber1fan123 yes, but not starting

[@badlandschugsnumber1fan123]

@@BengalsTalk they should split snaps with Trent brown or if brown is awful just let mims play the whole game. Best case scenario is they ease mims in and not just throw him in

[@BengalsTalk]

@@badlandschugsnumber1fan123 Brown wasn't awful last week... No reason to think he will be this week. I do think Mims will get some snaps as the extra tackle

[@BrennenJSkits]

Is Von Bell playing 😭

[@Montrovantis]

Can Chase actually do something? Can Burrow clutch out a drive? Has catching improved? Will they play under center and make the running game an emphasis?

[@jungledynasty3554]

Bengals are on upset alert ..commanders are going to run wild on this garbage defense

[@Jbayz]

I didn't like all that sass when you said Monday night.

[@jungledynasty3554]

Bengals lose this Game ..they're cooked and major changes will be coming..I wouldn't be surprised at all if they get upset. Commanders are better than the pats

[@kevinevans8892]

This is not the same team that played against the Pats. I expect the Bengals, if they play like they did in KC, to win by at least two scores

[@erichelmers3922]

Dude shut up you're a hater so either you don't football or you just like running your mouth
